2004 thru 2007

The Campos Family  The Latest Check out our blog!!  I should have started posting to it on Feb. 15th, 2008, when Guillermo and Fernando first left for South America, but the blog's first entry is March 30th, so unfortunately, there are many days left off of it.  Go to Blog! ***************************************************************** October 6, 2007   What an exciting and memorable day for us!   Rebeca and Jason's wedding day!! The wedding was held at the Austin Museum of Art - Laguna Gloria in Austin, TX. We had beautiful warm weather on the day and we all had such a good time - we are still reminiscing about the wedding and the reception to this day! Rebeca enjoyed creating all the designs and we ALL enjoyed planning every little detail for the wedding. Everything turned out so beautifully.  The two pictures here from the wedding are courtesy of John and his family. A very emotional moment Mr. and Mrs. Field Angie, John, Rebeca, Vicki, Guillermo, Fernando, Fidelio, Cynthia Jason is taking the picture. Thanks, Jason!  June 10, 2007 Guillermo was front and center!!! We had a fun celebration for his birthday and his upcoming retirement at one of our favorite restaurants - Cha-Cha's. Rebeca, Jason and Fernando were here to honor and celebrate with him as were our friends Fidelio and Cynthia and John and Angie. We were fortunate to have Rebeca and Jason in town with us, and Fernando actually was supposed to fly from Costa Rica back to Calgary on May 31st, but changed his ticket so that he could be here for this important occasion. After a delicious dinner, we all headed back to our house to watch the Spurs beat the Cavaliers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. It was a retirement/birthday party that Guillermo really enjoyed!!!  December 23, 2006 - Rebeca and Jason's Engagement Party! It was so nice having everyone there and we thank Andrew and all his helpers (Samantha, Fernando, Guillermo, Mike; to name a few) for braving the elements outside to fix those absolutely delicious fajitas. And elements there were! Cold, rainy, lightning, thunder, leaking tarp. Thanks also to all the people who came from out of town to celebrate with us.  Jason and Rebeca  We sure had a full house!!! It was great!!  *********************************************************** Canadian Thanksgiving 2006 We had another wonderful Thanksgiving in Canada with Fernando and Eva. We visited Banff again, this time going as far as the Columbia Icefield! That was so beautiful and impressive. Our last night there we had a GREAT Thanksgiving dinner at River Cafe which is on an island in the middle of the Bow River. It was a very special evening and the only thing we missed was having Rebeca with us.  Fernando and Eva by Crowfoot Glacier  Guillermo and Vicki in Banff  Vicki and her mom by Peyto Lake  The trail to this lake was very icy. We took it very slow!  ****************************************************************************** Spring Break 2006 in Costa Rica!  It was wonderful!  We had a great time with the students and with our friends.   We couldn't have asked for a better group of people!  View of Volcan Arenal from our hotel  The group in Monteverde  The Group at Poas Volcano Lodge  Guillermo and Vicki by the La Paz Waterfall Gardens  ************************************************************ On the 4th and 5th of March 2006, we enjoyed a visit here with Guillermo's brother Eugene, his wife Muriel and their daughter Debbie.  We visited the Alamo, walked on the River Walk, lunch along the river and later in the evening we took a walk in a park near to us.  Eugene, Muriel, Debbie and Guillermo at the Alamo.  Visiting the Alamo    ********************************************************** Guillermo, Vicki and Vicki's mom flew to Calgary, Canada, in October 2005 and stayed with Fernando and Eva for a few days.  We visited the Rocky Mountains and celebrated a very nice Canadian Thanksgiving together.  Fernando and Eva at Lake Louise  The scenery is just beautiful in the Canadian Rockies. This is Lake Louise.  The scenery is just beautiful in the Canadian Rockies. This is Lake Louise.  ************************************************* In March, 2005, Melissa, our niece, came by to visit with four of her friends.  They were on their way from Fargo, North Dakota, to Corpus Christi, Texas to enjoy spring break on the beach. We had a really nice time with all five of them while they were here!!  Guillermo, Vicki and Melissa  ****************************************** On February 28, 2005, Vicki's beloved grandmother passed away.  She was 97 years old.  Vicki fondly remembers:  "I remember the many happy times playing cards  (Liverpool or 21) with Grandmother in her kitchen,  all the Grandmother- Mother-Daughter dinners we enjoyed at Luby's and then later, the many times I would bring enchiladas to her house for dinner (Grandmother just LOVED enchiladas)."  She will be greatly missed.

************************************************************* June, 2004 We spent a few days in Port Aransas, Texas at Port Royal.  Port Royal is one of our favorite places on the coast!  Joining the four of us on this trip were Vicki's mom (who's 75th birthday was one of the reasons we were there), John, Elaine, James, Amy, Linda, Jacob, Chris and three of Rebeca's friends:  Laura, Jennifer and Katie.  (We were also celebrating Rebeca's graduation and we celebrated Father's Day there, too!)  We had a wonderful time, the weather was just perfect, the beach was a lot of fun, the pool was the BEST and it was great to have both Rebeca and Fernando with us.  That really was the best part of all!
